With shoegazey dream pop etherealism pulsing through the evocative mix, PRISMATICA uses soulful sonic subtlety to console her listeners into discovering what it means to throw away shame for not falling in line with the hegemony in her standout single, FREAK! The 80s-esque percussion brings a discernible tenderness to the release, amplifying the resolve that pours from PRISMATICA’s pop vox with mellifluous grace; this is what happens when you pull from the soul and instil untainted emotion into sound.
The track goes out to all those who fly their freak flag with pride and those looking to find comfort and confidence in their idiosyncrasies. It’s not about spectacle. It’s about softness. It’s about radical acceptance delivered through a spectral palette of synths and vocal vulnerability. While the soundwaves never need to raise their voice, the message carries: you’re not broken for refusing to contort into uniformity.
PRISMATICA’s electro-pop output doesn’t ask for understanding. It creates space for it. Her approach to storytelling comes from lived chaos, not conceptual fabrication. After having her first album stolen in 2009 and enduring years of personal trauma, she stepped back, chose wellness, and came back to her craft with the weight of her own healing held gently in both hands. FREAK! is one track from her forthcoming EP, born from years of journaling and reflection. It lands as a fearless affirmation of identity and a refusal to shrink under societal expectations.
As a neurodivergent creator, PRISMATICA doesn’t just represent herself in her work. She provides a lifeline to anyone who has felt too strange, too soft, too loud, or too lost. FREAK! wasn’t made to fit in—it was made so others wouldn’t feel like they had to.
FREAK! is now available to stream on all major platforms via this link.
